This year we were even lazier than usual ...... when Stuart and Alison arrived at the start of our second week, they were soon heading out and about, exploring the area. Whereas we preferred a gentle potter into town - the old town of Pollensa one day, the busier Puerto Pollensa the next. We would buy the newspapers (British newspapers are printed over there and are readily available) ....... then came the tough decision - which establishment would we grace with our custom for a cuppa and cake, sitting in the sun reading the papers
possibly the best lemon meringue pie ever!!
And of course we had to have an icecream one day from the kiosk on the front at Puerto Pollensa
strawberry and mango - delicious!
Over the years we have got into the habit of buying each other presents when we're on holiday - just little things. As you can see from these photos I took of our purchases this morning in the garden, we brought the good weather home with us!
First, I bought these wonderful flavoured salts for Malcolm
Then he bought these beads for me
Next, I added to his owl collection with this cast iron one, which he has popped in a planter in the front garden
And he then gave me this very cute sheep, which bounces on a spring!
Stuart and Alison also gave us a present ....... this lovely photograph album, which we will have no trouble filling with the many, many photos we have taken over the years that we have been holidaying on Majorca!
This afternoon I worked out which post was the 100oth .......it was Day 15, with the quilt "Kiss this Guy". Malcolm as ever served as the random number generator, picking Rachel, whose wonderful blog shows off her beautiful embroidery (I'll be in touch, Rachel, to get your address). Now there is a little problem with showing you the prize ...... the lady in the shop wrapped it up and popped it in a little envelope, with a pretty sticker. I didn't want to open it to take a photo, so I shall have to ask Rachel to send me a photo when she opens it!
When we got home yesterday, there were two very special parcels in the large pile of post waiting for us ....... I'll tell you what was in them tomorrow! To finish today, some more photos of the wonderful scenery in and around Pollensa
